Beschrijving voorzijde Schematized human head rendered in the La Tène Celtic artistic tradition, depicted facing right or left with highly abstracted facial features. Concentric arcs and pellet motifs surround the head, characteristic of the Gaulish potin coinage style. The design is deeply stylized, with swirling linear elements replacing naturalistic detail, reflecting the indigenous Celtic approach to portraiture. No inscription or legend is present in the field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with the cast-and-struck production technique typical of Gaulish potin issues.

Aanvullende informatie

The Aulerci Eburovices, centered around what is now Évreux in Normandy, were among the Gaulish tribes caught directly in the path of Caesar's campaigns of the late 50s BC. Potin — a cast tin-lead-copper alloy — was the workhorse coinage of northern Gaul precisely because it required no striking, only molds, making rapid production possible even under disrupted conditions. DT 2480 is a relatively localized type; Delestrée and Tache's attribution places it firmly within the Eburovican series rather than the broader Aulerci group issues.
